When attempting to deploy Retrievers using DevOps Data Kits, customers may expect support for multiple environment combinations (for example, Sandbox → Sandbox or Production → Production).
At this time, Retriever deployment via DevOps Data Kit is limited to a specific environment flow.
Sandbox → Its respective Production org (Merge Back only)
Sandbox → Sandbox
Production → Production
If deployment is attempted outside the supported Sandbox-to-Production merge-back model, the functionality will not work because this capability is not currently supported by the platform.
This is a product limitation and not a configuration or permission issue.
At present, there is no workaround to enable Sandbox-to-Sandbox or Production-to-Production Retriever deployments using DevOps Data Kits.
Recommended approach:
Use the supported Sandbox → Production merge-back model for Retriever deployment.
